- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- Picks up the most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.
- Tailored Frequency Response
- Smooth, extended response. Tuned to accentuate specific types of instruments, or voices.
BETA 87CVocal Microphone
- Condenser
- Lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances. Powered by battery or phantom power supply.
- Recommended Uses
- Live Vocals
- Studio Vocals
Excellent for touring professionals, the Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design.
The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for in ear personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection.
Vocalists who use earphone monitor systems such as Shure PSM® will appreciate how effectively the BETA 87C rejects ambient sound from the rear of the microphone.
